Witchfire, the dark‑fantasy shooter from The Astronauts, dropped its biggest content surge yet, titled Revelations. The update expands the single‑player world, adds 15‑language localization, and introduces a dialogue system that lets players converse with fallen Preyers. Choices now shape both story arcs and combat flows, setting the stage for the 1.0 release ahead of the game’s launch.

At the heart of the patch lies the Marshland, a slick wetland map teeming with new abominations and the hidden Cathedral of Saint Aurelian. Players uncover Vatican failings and a vanished Preyer, while new gear appears. The Heart Eater pistol rewards successive weak‑spot hits with lightning, and the Corpse Eater channels decay for surge damage.

The update also drops the Witch Vault, the largest dungeon yet, and revamps environmental mechanics under World Corruption 2.0, adding fresh scaling challenges. Off‑combat, the Garden inside the Hermitorium opens, letting players harvest rare resources to craft incense or simply enjoy the view. Full patch notes sit on Steam and the studio’s site for all players today.

Developed by the team behind Painkiller, Bulletstorm, and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Witchfire blends RPG shooter tension with roguelite progression and souls‑like difficulty. Players assume a Preyer, an undead assassin fueled by witchfire, to defeat the Witch of the Black Sea. Availability on Steam and Epic Games Store includes a 20 % discount, making entry affordable.
